While the brief for the work was to gather audio or video files we have discovered that my learners are not happy with hearing their own voices or seeing themselves on video so most completed written responses and then uploaded these to their blogs. (Is this an example of learner agency?)
Overall, learners enjoyed a variety of different ways of learning - digital, teacher directed, textbook, and different environments - quiet, listening to music, noise in the classroom. Three male learners enjoyed the digital programs available - probably because of the self paced learning that was being achieved?
I think the answers provided showed the variety of learning styles in the classroom and the importance of learner agency when it comes to learning. No learner gave exactly the same answer so why do we expect learners to be wanting to learn the same material the same way?
I have added links to the answers from my students - their blogs are public and monitored - we are part of the Manaiakalani initiative which is about Learn, Create, Share.
